Explore Sunny Slopes, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sunny Slopes, California. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of California or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Sunny Slopes.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Sunny Slopes emerges from the high, arid expanse of the Inyo National Forest as a rugged stretch of terrain defined by the persistent, cold pulse of Lower Rock Creek. It lies 68.2 miles northeast of Heights, CA (from Heights, CA: bearing 37°T), and is situated 17.1 miles east-southeast of Mammoth Lakes. The landscape here is carved by deep geological time, where the earth drops away into the jagged shadows of Whisky Canyon and the horizon is dominated by the distant, snow-dusted spine of the Sierra Nevada. Sunlight hits the dry, scrub-covered ground with a sharp, unfiltered clarity, illuminating the sagebrush and volcanic rock that define the physical character of the plateau. Only two miles distant, the still, reflective surface of Lake Crowley anchors the high desert, offering a silent counterpoint to the restless movement of the creek as it winds through the basin.
History in Sunny Slopes is written in the shift from seasonal migration to the quiet, persistent industry of land stewardship and resource management. The economy remains tethered to the natural rhythms of the forest, drawing those who seek the solitude of the high country or the seasonal influx of visitors traversing the nearby trails. While the roar of Horsetail Falls echoes in the memory of those who venture further into the peaks, life in Sunny Slopes maintains a steady, deliberate pace, governed by the thinning air and the dramatic shifts between the heat of the day and the bite of the evening frost. It is a place where the human presence feels like a light footprint upon the earth, caught between the ancient granite of the mountains and the quiet, enduring gravity of the inland plains.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
